Best easy cookie recipes Now that we have a welcome chill in the air, it’s time to crank the ovens! Well, I have the oven on even when it’s over 100 outside, but that’s just because baking is my true love in life. But now that the kids are interested in staying indoors a little longer, they love to help me in the kitchen. If they get to eat something sweet at the end, they see it as a win-win....

I mean, we’ve got applesauce, caramel apples, apple muffins, apple crumble pie, apple cobbler, apple upside down cake…okay, you get it. 😉 This Fried Apples recipe is another delicious way to use apples....

In the dessert world, mousse can be a fancy thing or it can be an easy thing with a few shortcuts. If you’re guessing that I’m going to share the shortcut version that comes together in just minutes with only a few ingredients, then you know me so well. One of the reasons I love mousse so much is because it’s faster to make than pudding. Both desserts are creamy and rich, but mousse sets up into a slightly firmer texture than pudding....

I shared this recipe first on Spend With Pennies. It’s been a while since The Recipe Rebel has seen a 30 minute meal that is as easy and loveable as this Stromboli! Anything that is pizza-flavored, in any form, is a hit here with the whole family. What can I say? We are just bread, meat and cheese kind of people 😉 But this stromboli, with its golden crust and hot, melty, gooey filling that is incredible fresh from the oven but also pretty awesome cooled to room temperature and packed in school lunches or a picnic basket?...

Since my husband operates a seasonal business and is now home for the winters (December through June), we started having coffee break every afternoon once our oldest gets home from school. It is one of our favorite times of the day, and now that we’ve made it a routine the kids have come to expect their tea or hot chocolate at 3:45 sharp. I don’t hate it 😉 It’s a completely random time in the middle of the day when we get to reconnect and take time to do so....

I’m thinking December is a busy month for you. Am I right? You’re probably hunting for gifts for everyone on your list, planning your holiday meals, making travel arrangements for family, buying and selling a house and moving in 30 days, etc. Wait, is that just me on the last part? Yeah. We had a whirlwind of a trip to St Louis a few weeks ago where we looked at 64 houses in 13 different areas in 4 days…and oh, bought a house on that last day....

There is a little-known secret in the macaron world about how to achieve perfect macarons, every single time. This one little trick takes them from finicky to perfect results on the first try. I learned it from one of my baking idols, Anne Thornton. She used to have her own Food Network show, and I’m still sad about it being cancelled. She shared this trick for perfect macarons, and I’ve been a devotee ever since....

They are a soft sugar cookie made with sour cream, and they have a fluffy, delicate melt-in-your-mouth texture that I find much more appealing....

Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it. I’m taking issue with myself for how early I started drinking pumpkin spice lattes this year. It’s never been as early as September. This much I know. My birthday is at the end of this month (OMG THE BIG 3-0!), so Fall does not start until then for me....

Creamy handis and white handis have been all the rage since the early 2000s in Pakistan. White chicken handi and similar recipe have swooped the internet and the restaurants obliged with the demand and produced more white curry recipes. Of Course it also got my creative juices flowing too. And thus came into being this malai chicken kofta recipe. I am also pleased to report that I’ve tested this recipe on a big batch of people before I introduced it to the world!...

If I’ve learned anything from my Cranberry Orange Trifle and my Slow Cooker Cranberry Apple Cider, it’s that I love cranberry and orange together. Especially in sweets! I mean, what could be better than the tart flavor of cranberry and the tangy flavor of orange made better with some sugary sweetness? This Orange Cranberry Bread is a new cranberry orange favorite! It’s moist and sweet, has just the right amount of cranberry and orange flavor, and is topped off with a super simple orange glaze....

We’ve got a little problem on our hands. What you’ve been seeing on the outside is not what’s going on inside. On the outside (in my social media channels, lol), it appears my Camille is a great eater. Her favorite foods are broccoli, plain yogurt, garlic-dill sauerkraut, carrots, raw orange bell peppers, etc. All of that is true. Struggling with kids that don’t like meat: However, what you don’t see is that she hates meat....

Fall is here, which means it’s time for all things pumpkin! If you’ve been around here for a while you might have heard me say that apple is always my first choice for fall baking. But, my husband and kids love pumpkin and it does make the house smell amazing. Once September hits you can catch me in the kitchen baking up Pumpkin Muffins, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin French Toast, Pumpkin Pudding Cake, and now this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread....

Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it. I really really wanted to call this ‘baby’s first pumpkin spice latte,’ but because I can feel your eye rolls from over there, I didn’t. But I did douse this whole wheat pumpkin oat waffle batter with a full tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice. I will not confirm or deny that Camille steals a sip of my (decaf) coffee in the mornings....

This is normally the time of year when I try to score good deals on plane tickets home for Christmas and Thanksgiving. You would think that buying this early in advance would be cheaper, and it is, but only slightly. All that thinking about the holidays made me crave the pecan pie my Dad bakes every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope this doesn’t embarrass him, but my Dad can bake one helluva pie....
